Fiber Laser Marking Machines

Fiber laser marking machines are designed to meet the needs of manufacturers who mark codes and other information on robust, high-density materials such as metals and plastics.

What is a Fiber laser marking machine?

Fiber laser marking, also known as Solid-State Laser (SSL), operates by delivering a wavelength of 1.064 micrometers, 10 times shorter than that generated by a CO2 Laser .Due to this much smaller focal distance, the intensity of fiber laser system is almost 100 times higher than CO2 systems with a similar power output, making fiber lasers ideal for coding on high-density packaging materials such as metal and plastics. Industries with demanding production schedules and increasing throughput expectations — like beverage, extrusion, and pharmaceuticals — need lasers that can keep pace and provide the appropriate level of contrast. Compared to traditional CO2 laser sources, fiber lasers can achieve better mark contrast at faster speeds.

What are the benefits of Fiber lasers?

• Applies high-contrast marks at ultra-fast speeds on hard plastics, metals, and other industrial products.

• Virtually no maintenance and a source life expectancy of up to 100,000 hours (MTBF) delivers high performance and long-lasting reliability

• Line speed of 900m/min meet the demands of high-speed packaging operations

• 498mm wide marking window provides more time to print, increasing product throughput and maximizing productivity

Fiber lasers benefit from more power and speed, which provides more available mark time to achieve the best readable code on a range of materials such as:

       Aluminum cans

      Cable and wire

• White polypropylene extrusion

• Blister pack materials

• Aseptic packaging

Fiber laser marking is an ideal solution for many parts-marking, pharmaceutical and cosmetics manufacturers. To meet the needs of food, beverage and CPG manufacturers, the Videojet range of fiber lasers have been designed to ensure laser marks are clearly and accurately positioned, offering code precision that does not adversely impact product aesthetics.

What is a Fiber laser engraver?

A fiber laser engraver uses a process of cutting through paint on a surface to make permanent marks which protects codes from being tampered with by unauthorized channels. Fiber laser engraving generally refers to deeper material removal that generates a depression in the material. Typical substrates are plastic and metal. For glass and plexiglass there is also the option of inner engraving which refers to internal color removal without affecting the top layer.

• Maximize performance with long-life laser source expectancy up to 100,000 hours mean time before failure (MTBF)

• Air-cooled laser source that virtually eliminates maintenance intervals

• No wear parts help to minimize downtime

• Focus more on production and less on user interaction and maintenance with an easy-to-use laser solution that is intuitive to the operator without the need for additional training

• Reduce the risk of rework and recalls with familiar look and feel user interfaces, offering simple operation and message creation
